I bought a set of 3 frosts/mora carving knives from woodcraft about 20 years ago. May have been the first knives I ever actually bought.
I can't find the set anymore, but the smallest in the set is basically the woodcarver model 106

The large knife is a classic original, or at least very close to it:

And the middle knife I can't seem to find but it has the same blade shape as the classic but is about an inch shorter.
All have plain birchwood handles and laminated blades, and I believe at the time I got all 3 with PVC sheaths, for under $30.
The carver is a good whittling knife, not too big and not too small. I have taken it to horse shows and stuff where I had time to kill. Its good for carving/whittling if you are only going to take one tool. Takes a very good edge and holds it reasonably well.
The mid sized knife is a great general purpose knife in the shop. I keep it very sharp and use it for general purpose stuff. The blade is a little wide for general carving but its good for cutting leather, opening things and a little woodwork here and there.
I never found much use for the full sized companion. It just doesn't have much handle for me to like it for camp/hunting tasks, and the blade is a little long and wide for most carving.
None of the knives is all that interesting or flashy, but I suppose when you figure how many knives I made or bought over the years, the fact that these 3 are still in service regularly says a lot about them. The quality you get for the price is amazing, and they really are very functional.
The PVC sheaths leave a lot to be desired but as far as the knives go, I think they are all the average person would ever need, they just are a little boring compared to other stuff on the market.
As for Gransfor Bruks I have alway wanted one (or all
) of their axes but have never justified it to myself to buy one. I have a very good plumb brand carpenters hatchet I inherited from my grandpa that I cleaned up, re-handled, and made a leather sheath for. I take it with me when I want a hatchet. It does everything I need really well. I also have an estwing 26 inch camp axe and I am not nearly as happy with it but its does its job and only gets used around camp. Its really is a pretty good axe for cutting, but the sweep of the edge makes it pretty poor for splitting.
